Internet penetration and international travel and tourism expenditure: The role of foreign exchange control

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The total amount of digital travel sales worldwide increases significantly every year, yet previous studies on outbound tourism expenditures have scarcely discussed the role of foreign exchange control (Fxc) as a barrier to e-internationalization. In the era of e-commerce, residents of more than 40 economies are not allowed to buy or pay for foreign products by the Internet. This article, with data from 95 economies in the period 2012–2017, concludes that Internet penetration development increases international tourism expenditure. On the other hand, the control of foreign exchange decreases the relationship between internet penetration and tourism expenditure. Therefore, Fxc is clearly a barrier to electronic internationalization and tourism expenditure.

“…Tourism growth in developing destinations and its impact on the living conditions of the population are giving rise to a growing dilemma in the literature (Smith and Diekmann, 2017) regarding its benefits, supported by some authors (Pulido-Fernández and Cárdenas-García, 2021; Sokhanvar et al , 2018), but rejected by others (Scheyvens and Hughes, 2019). Despite this controversy, the dilemma is greater about relying on a tourism specialized (TS) economy or a diversified one (DE) to achieve an optimal development model for well-being (Çiftçioğlu and Sokhanvar, 2021; Croes et al , 2018; Lin et al , 2019; Scarlett, 2021).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to contrast the capacity of tourism-specialized and non-tourism-specialized systems in small developing insular societies to achieve a well-being model aligned with the Agenda 2030. Design/methodology/approach The empirical method of this work consists of a panel-corrected standard errors analysis for a total of seven Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to measure the contribution of both economic diversification and tourism specialization to well-being in the Agenda 2030 framework. Time period considered in the analysis include 2005–2019. Findings Linear and nonlinear relationships reveal the need to conjugate both tourism specialization and economic diversification in the 2030-development agendas of small developing insular societies as both represent a means to achieve a well-being model aligned with the Agenda 2030. Originality/value One of the main novelties of this work is that development is analyzed from a multidimensional point of view (standard of living, access to education and health services), as an integrated thinking that considers any tourism development model that defines a route with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030 as main destination in SIDS. Specifically, practical implications are given combining recommendations to foster development and face poverty (SDG-1), while inequalities situations are reduced (SDG-10) and decent jobs are generated (SDG-8). These implications also focus on strengthening local suppliers of goods and services from other sectors to be integrated into the destination value chain (SDG-2), ensuring access to education (SDG-4) and contributing to gender equality (SDG-5).

“…Hospitals that deliver services with low cost and high quality have more chance to compete in this market. 1–4 On the other hand, delivering such services taking time, cost, quality, and other related knowledge management areas into account is a complicated task for general and functional managers in such hospitals. According to the statistics reported by literature 5 there are more than 30 countries with hundreds of hospitals and clinics around the world for delivering services to medical tourists.…”

Despite the considerable growth of interest in medical tourism in the last decade, there is no standard procedure to measure the pivotal factors in medical tourism destinations. Medical tourism is a rising global phenomenon that is strongly dependent on innovation and knowledge management. Being both innovative and systematic in medical tourism requires thought enrichment in knowledge management in hospitals. By applying a quantitative method, “knowledge management-oriented innovation” items have been used in this study to analyze new products or services related to active hospitals in medical tourism in Iran. This study presents the positive effects of the most essential knowledge management areas such as time, cost, and quality management orientation, on operational performance through the mediating role of innovation speed. In the current study, hospitals of Iran that are active in the medical tourism area have been considered as the final destination. Additionaly, because this study coincides with the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic as the global health crisis which has a considerable effect on medical tourism, the managerial implications have been developed to help managers and decision-makers in order to apply the obtained findings during the pandemic and post-pandemic period.
